Junior Tennis Programs:

At GRSC, our certified teaching staff offers juniors the area's best learning environment. We welcome those who have never picked up a racquet and those with years of experience. Our program has been regarded as one of the best in New England. Our staff has worked with some of the world's leading innovators in U10 tennis to create the best pathway for each young player, taking care to ensure proper preparation to learn and play at each level, starting with red and orange ball, and proceeding to green and yellow ball. For general information about the junior program or to set up a complimentary rating session for your junior player, please email Matt Fraenza.

We are the proud trainers of 2018 Best Sportsman Award Winners as well as a Nationals Qualifying team! Congratulations Piper, Zoe, Charlie and the U18 Players.
